Meeting on Road safety

A meeting was held in the regional akimat with the participation of the akim of the region Gali Iskaliyev, at which a set of measures to prevent road accidents was discussed. During the meeting, the first deputy head of the DP of the WKO, Police Colonel Zhanshin Zh. Zh. announced the statistics and the main reasons for the accident. According to the speaker, despite a significant decrease in the number of road accidents, their level of severity and consequences remain extremely high. The general statistics are not pleasing to the eye, there is an increase in the number of dead by 51.5% , an increase in the wounded by 14.0% . The main share of the dead is an accident on the republican roads. Zhanshin Zh. Zh. noted that at the moment the issue of reconstruction of the Uralsk – Atyrau road with mandatory separation of oncoming traffic flows is under implementation. There are many factors that affect the probability of getting into an accident. The most common are fatigue, driving under difficult weather conditions, at night, poor technical condition of the car, insufficient visibility. And of course, do not forget about the indiscipline of the road users themselves. – We have carried out a number of operational and preventive measures "Safe road", "Bus", "Law and order", "Drunk driver", "Motorcycle" and the month "Safe road". As a result, more than 68 thousand violations of traffic rules were stopped. The number of accidents caused by exceeding the speed limit decreased by 56%. 1 101 facts of driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and drugs were suppressed – - Zh. informed.Zhanshin. Illegal taxi drivers The problem with illegal carriers is still open, on July 1 of this year there was a major road accident in the Zhangalinsky district, as a result of which five people were killed, 8 were injured. There was a head-on collision of two cars, one of them was engaged in private transportation in the direction of Zhangala-Uralsk-Zhangala, - Zh. informed. Zhanshin. Unfortunately, the situation with carriers carrying out illegal transportation of passengers under the guise of registered ones is very much. To date, 185 illegal carriers have been registered in the region. Such transportation has become "famous" for being and remains one of the most opaque types of business. - Illegal carriers-do not pay taxes, work without a license, do not issue tickets, do not care about the safety of transportation, endanger life and health. It is necessary to bring illegal taxi drivers to administrative responsibility. The transport Inspectorate should work in full force, it is necessary to reduce the number of illegal traffic, – G. Iskaliyev said. Cattle should not be on the roads Zhanbolat Zhanshin further noted that in recent years, a lot has been done to ensure safety and the organization of road traffic itself. Our employees brought 1368 cattle owners to administrative responsibility for unsupervised grazing. 1098 people received a warning, 270 were fined in the amount of 1 million 420 thousand tenge, 960 thousand 334 tenge were collected. - Akims of the districts and KazAvtoZhol should put the roads in order. It is necessary to mow the grass from the roadsides so that the cattle do not go out on the road. Orphan cattle should be determined for penal pens, or transferred to the balance of the municipal economy – - said G. Iskaliyev. Billboards every 50 km During the meeting, the governor of the region gave some instructions to ensure the safety of roads to the akims of the districts and the heads of the department. In order to reduce the number of accidents on the highways, Gali Iskaliyev proposed to install an installation of overturned cars on the side of the highways, designed to remind you of the need to comply with traffic rules. These are reminders to drivers about the consequences of violations of traffic rules and a live indicator of what carelessness and non-compliance with traffic rules leads to. – One of the reasons for accidents on the highways is an undeveloped service along the republican roads. It is necessary to determine the points for the construction of stops and recreation areas where drivers and passengers can relax during a long road. You also need to install warning banners every 50 km. I instruct the regional administration, together with the KazAvtoZhol branch, to develop a project by September 01 – - summed up G. Iskaliev.
